SIC SYSTEM

LATION
2.1. Site
e Preparatio
on
Site preparation is the single most imporrtant factor in the ease
e of installa
ation and prroper
operatio
on of the FORAX-DAS
S system. The
followiing paragra
aphs outline the minim
mum
requirem
ments for a trouble-free
e installatio
on.
2.2. Fibe
er Optic Ca
abling
A single
e-mode opttical fiber is
s required for each F
FORAX-DAS
S channel. The maxim
mum
allowablle optical lo
oss between the OIM and AIU is 5 dB opticcal for full performance
e link
operatio
on.
All optic
cal connections in the link canno
ot generate combined optical refflections gre
eater
than -50
0 dB optical. Large op
ptical reflecttions can d egrade FO
ORAX-DAS performance in
two way
ys. First, the
e reflections generate feedback into the lassers causin
ng optical power
oscillatio
ons which modulate
noise
onto the
t RF signal. In orde
er to mitiga
ate the effe
ect of
single la
arge reflecttions, each laser in th
he FORAX system is equipped w
with an inte
ernal
isolator as well as a seconda
ary externa
al isolator. S
Secondly, rreflective cconnectionss can
result in
n an unstab
ble oscillato
ory mode within
the o
optical fibe
er. This mo
ode results in a
significa
antly elevatted RF noiise floor which
drastiically reducces receive
e sensitivitty. In
extreme
e cases, the
e noise floo
or can beco
ome sufficie
ently elevatted that the
e RF detecttor in
the AIU is tripped, resulting
in degraded system perrformance.
Syntonic
cs recomm
mends optic
cally aligne
ed Angled Physical C
Contact (AP
PC) connectors
througho
out the entire fiber in
nstallation. APC con
nnections provide the
e best deffense
against poorly term
minated fibe
ers and refflections. A
At a minimum APC co
onnectors must
d to connec
ct to the OIM and AIU
U. Any patcch cable tha
at transition
ns from AP
PC to
be used
Physical Contact (PC/UPC)
connectors
s should be
e longer th
han 30 metters in orde
er to
minimize
e reflections.
NOTE:
Syntoniics recomm
mends the fewest po
ossible APC
C patch co
onnections
s between the
OIM and
d AIU in orrder to min
nimize optical losses and optical reflectio
ons.
The most common
n cause of unacceptab
bly high op
ptical loss iss dirty fiber connectors. A
ctor can ca
ause optical losses gre
eater than the entire loss budge
et for
single dirty connec
the link. For this reason, grreat care should
be taken to tthoroughly clean all fiber
ccordance with man
nufacturer recommen
ndations e
each time the
connectors in ac
connectors are mated.
NOTE:
Never clean
optical connecttors carrying light w
with a wet c
cleaning prroduct. Op
ptical
power levels as low as +15
dBm (32 mW) may caus
se explosive ignition of

The total optical loss for each

Optical Loss
(dB op

2.2.1. Power
The univ

0-240 VAC
C, 50-60 Hzz power sou
urce.
The max
ximum total power req
quirement fo
or a FORAX
X-RP OIU cchassis is a function o
of the
number of links. A single Pow
wer Supply
y Module ca
an provide sufficient p
power to ru
un all
devices in a fully populated OIU chass
sis. In norm
mal operatiion with re
edundant power
supplies
s, current is
s shared across the load
by bo
oth the masster and re
edundant power
modules
s; therefore
e, if both power
supp
plies are in

nd healthy, the adverrtised
power consumptio
n of the load is cut in
n half for e
each powerr module (b
beyond the

ed as follow
ws:
OIU: Ma

5 + (# of links * 10)
For max
ximum prottection aga

At a minimum, the system
